no one knocks his clavicle width to be mean, where just giving an honest assesment of his physique, and yes he does have very narrow clavices as is most apparent in his front lat spread. going up against someone with the structure of a dennis wolf makes it very hard for phil to come off as overpowering and if he wants to win that comparison he better come in absolutely peeled. i doubt a top 3 placing is in the books, top 5 definately. the top 3 will go to (in no order) dexter, jay and a tossup between wolf and victor considering vic was injured.
Well I guess I'll do just that, come in absolutely peeled like always and continue to bring up areas where I need more size. As for width, it may be something that many will knock, but I feel I bring fewer weak points than many others, which is why I have had success against many who are actually wider. Funny thing is that I am a work in progress and I will work extremely hard to bring back what bodybuilding was, size, shape and all-out conditioning.
this makes me even more amazed at how dennis wolf manages to look spectacular all the time. phil does not lool like anything exceptional here but he is in the offseason.

Yo!
Thank you all for the posts, I truly respect and appreciate them all. I am currently 2wks out from my olympia prep weighing today at 265lbs, about 20lbs heavier since last early May so I should get up to 272 maybe by contest prep time. My goal isn't just to get huge, but to get better, so gaining weight isn't the goal...overall shape and size is. Training is again getting better each day and I plan on filming my next dvd 2 wks from today at the NPC Colorado State show (i won in '04). I will do my best to post, but I will probably do most of it on flexonline.com as they are my sponsor. You guys are the chit, so keep hitting the gym hard and be safe out there in those streets bcuz summer is here and people get a bit too excited.

GOdd luck with your prep, Phil.
Mybe it's a little bit too early but... at what weight are you planning to compete in the O?
That's actually a good question because I asked my trainer, Hany "Pro Creator" Rambod that today. Currently I am better than I looked when preparing for the early shows this year, so I'm thinkin' 238-242 range, which would be much bigger than the arnold. I will say that I am not sacrificing conditioning for just a few extra pounds because I normally rely on my full muscle bellies along with my smaller joints to provide a much more complete look than others so we will see in 14wks.
